MOVIE MATINEE

 

Normally this Thrilla-from-Manilla event takes place on a weekend and thus we’ve booked August 3^rd (Heritage Day) for our movie at 3:30pm. The movie is called The Hurt Locker and we’ll see it at Eau Claire Cineplex (downtown). Meet-up is between 3:00 and 3:15 to get tickets and refreshments.

 

What’s the movie about? An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he’s indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.

 

 

 

MENSA POOL NIGHT AT THE GARAGE

 

The Garage is in Eau Claire (downtown). We meet at 6:00, shoot some stick and unwind after a long week. Great food and bevvies are offered by the in-house restaurant as well. Please RSVP Robert at robertanddiana@telus.net by the 12^th. If we have a large group, we’ll reserve tables to avoid disappointment.

 

 

 

DINNER NIGHT

 

Dinner Night is back!!! We had a great time at Bolero’s earlier this year and there’s no reason not to repeat the fun. We’ll meet there on Monday, August 17^th at 6:00pm. The restaurant is located at 6920 Macleod Trail S, just south of Chinook Centre, about a ten minute walk from the Chinook LRT.

 

Located close to the corner of Glenmore and Macleod, this is Calgary’s first Brazilian BBQ style restaurant. At Bolero’s, the customer decides when food will arrive at the table, food in the form of a wide selection of churrasco (skewers). The customer chooses Green to signify bring on the food, while Red means stop. This is a perfect setting for festive occasions or just ordinary fun. Bolero’s also offers a wide range of different cocktails, wine, and beer. Dining with friends and family was meant to be fun, the Brazilian way! The restaurant has a 3 tiered buffet system or you can order from the menu. Please RSVP to robertanddiana@telus.net by August 14^th.

 

 

 

FLAMES GAME NIGHT aka PASSPORT NIGHT

 

This is always a night to remember. We’ll meet at Bottlescrew Bill’s on the 21^st. In July we had a new face (nice to meet you Bill!) and a good time was enjoyed by all, forecasting similar pleasures for August. Start a passport in the "Around the World in 80 Beers" plan. $5 gets you the passport and you have one year to sample 80 beers from all over the world. Every 20 beers you get a prize as well. If you don’t want to do that, they still have a fine selection of brewed bliss as well as a good food menu and TVs everywhere. 6:00pm on Friday, August 21. The bar is on the northeast corner of 10 AV and 1 St SW.

 

 

 

MONTH END COFFEE NIGHT

 

August 31^st for this adventure. We’ll be at the Good Earth Café, 31 Crowfoot Terrace NW. They have a patio, so we’ll hang outside as long as the good weather holds. 7:00pm – no reservation needed. Look for the table with the Rubik’s Cube on it.
